Mutual judge preference will be used in CX & LD. Preferences will open on January 5th and will be due at 6 pm on January 7th. Tabroom.com will be used for all entry, pairings and balloting. All judges are required to have a tabroom.com account and all students should sign up for an account (to receive emails/texts with pairings and announcements).
Fees
For CX, LD and PF, entry fees for the UH tournament include fees for the Dobie tournament. I will remove Dobie fees manually from invoices for teams entered in both tournaments. |
